The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act, Seventh Edition

For more than 45 years, practitioners have relied on The Developing Labor Law: The Board, the Courts, and the National Labor Relations Act to keep them current on U.S. labor law. Now in its Seventh Edition and described as ''comprehensive and scholarly'' in the Legal Information Buyer's Guide and Reference Manual, this two-volume treatise is updated annually by distinguished members of the ABA Section of Labor and Employment Law, representing management, labor, and neutrals. Long considered an essential research tool for labor and employment law practitioners, it provides an authoritative, balanced perspective on the legal rights and duties of employees, employers, and unions, along with procedures and remedies under the NLRA. For the specialist, this classic reference is a quick means of accessing leading cases; for the generalist, it provides an excellent summary of the law and its development.

Topics covered include employer-mandated confidentiality agreements and arbitration agreements, employee handbook restrictions on employee activity alleged to be protected and concerted, the definition of critical terms such as ''supervisor'' and ''independent contractor,'' the obligation of an employer to provide financial information requested by the union during bargaining, the rights of employees to object to payment of full union dues under a union-shop agreement, the obligation of an employee who is unlawfully discharged under the NLRA to seek interim employment, employer restrictions on the use of company email to discuss union activity, and the standards for determining what constitutes a joint employer relationship.
